The depth of the housing crisis means any plan to address it seems inadequate. The Government has sidestepped this to some extent in its new housing plan by deciding not to have annual targets. The extent and breadth of the measures in the plan do suggest that the Coalition realises the importance of the issue. There is a coherent set of measures involved covering the different stages of the housing process. It remains to be seen, however, if the different parts of the system can work effectively together to really accelerate housing provision.
